BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2
My monitor light pick: BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2, rated 3 out of 3 (true best in slot).
1/2
A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
By Emiliano · Revised Oct 2026No lamp eating the corner. The BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 clamps to the ultrawide and lights the desk from the monitor itself. The front light hits the keyboard. The light behind the panel is the part I didn't know I wanted until the evening strain dropped. It doesn't glare off the OLED, which is where a careless lamp ruins the monitor I paid for. A desk lamp is a worse answer in this setup. It takes space and it throws light at the wrong surface. The mount and the two directions of light are already the right shape for this desk.
